### [4.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4.63)

初、總示相顯意。二、「若指」下別明指前義，二：初、約部；次、相違問。《大經》云「從生酥出熟酥，譬從方等出摩訶般若。」故知《般若》在方等後。此經既屬方等，豈得指《般若》為已說耶？

> First, generally showing the characteristics to reveal the intent. Second, from 'if pointing to' downward, he separately clarifies the meaning of pointing to what preceded, in two parts: first, in terms of the division; next, an objection on the grounds of contradiction. The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'From fresh butter emerges clarified butter; this is likened to emerging from the vaipulya into the mahāprajñā.' Thus we know that the Prajñāpāramitā comes after the vaipulya. Since this sūtra belongs to the vaipulya, how could it point to the Prajñāpāramitā as having already been spoken?
